Taking the health recommendation to get 400-500g of fruit or vegetables, let's say it all came from the most fructos-y (fructosesque?) fruits, that would be about max 15g X 5 = 75g carbs and max 8 X 5 = 40g fructose, which is not much.

I don't get why people fret so much over the fructose content of fruit. If you're in a deficit, fruit won't make you fat. If you're not in a deficit, you'll gain weight any way you look at it. If some of the weight gain comes from fruit, what does it matter?

It matters in the context of refeeds because fructose will mainly go to refilling liver glycogen as opposed to skeletal muscle.

That list is great, however it doesn't have Plantains!
Does anybody know the carb content/ratios of Plantains (not bananas)?

Calories are NOT calories. You can gain fat while being on an under maintenance caloric level by simply having your macro nutrient profiles screwed up. I read a very well conducted study recently where they took over 1500 people and put them on a diet that was 1000 calories below maintenance levels and the primary macro-nutrient was fructose. The vast majority of the people actually GAINED bodyfat while eating 1000 calories less than maintenance levels. The scale weight went down, and when they tested body composition they determined the people had lost a lot of muscle while actually storing more bodyfat. Without going into diet details as this is not what this article is for, the simple take home message is carbs are not your friend on a fat loss diet. That is not conjecture, just basic physiology.
